Packology, international visitors for Ronchi

A delegation of US Executives dropped this morning into the Ronchi booth.

The number of visitors increases every day at Packology, the show dedicated to the packaging and automation world, which inaugurated its first edition in Rimini with the cooperationship of UCIMA (the Italian Association of Packaging Machinery Manufacturers) and they do not miss to pay a visit to our stand located just at the entrance of Hall A3.

Today we have received visitors from across the Atlantic ocean, curios to see our Filling-Capping Monoblock; they enjoyed spending their time among the tables inside the booth, with their eyes pointed to the EXACTA/R 32/12 in operation.

The attention is drawn by the strong points of the EXACTA/R: capping operation by means by capping heads controlled by servomotors, filling operation through flow-meters, no-tool rapid format change-over, high performance sanitary execution with CIP/SIP washing and sterilizing systems managed from the operator’s panel in a very quick manner.

Second “Packology” day for Ronchi

Visitors, friends and curious: Ronchi booth have plenty of people around, from Italy and abroad.
After the inauguration held yesterday, we are at the second day of Packology, the Exhibition of Technology for Packaging and Processing promoted in Rimini by UCIMA (the Italian Association of Packaging Machinery Manufacturers), in cooperationship with Rimini Fiera.
Many are the appointments, in a white-lighted location, a warm and wrapping-up colour especially selected for our furniture that, in the frenzy of the show, are offering to our visitors moments of tranquillity and relax, where they can stop and point their attention to the Filling-Capping Monoblock capable of managing recipes in a quite simple and very rapid manner.
If you are in Rimini and if you wish to join “useful & delightful”, we wait for you till Friday at the show on our booth 041 in hall 3

Filling, yes ! But how ?

Filling machines adopt different filling or dosing technologies. The choice depends on multiple factors, first above all are the liquid to be filled and the sort of container.
In order to fill PET bottles with flat or sparkling liquid products having an electrical conductivity not lower than 5, the volumetric filling system through magnetic inductive flow-meters is largely utilized; as a matter of fact, it ensures utmost accuracy and versatility, in addition to the fact that the flow-meters are maintenance-free instruments thanks to lack of moving parts inside.
Dosing operations are controlled by a PLC installed onto a filling turret.
Once measuring has been achieved, the PLC itself controls the filling valve closing.

HOT FILLING : EXACTA RM fills Vaseline™ product

EXACTA RM is an interesting application of RONCHI Filler machineries with Mass Flow Meters, used in this case for a hot filling application of a product which is solid at room temperature.
In cooperation with the customer, Ronchi installed a line with a filler characterized by the Product Temperature Control from the feeding pipeline to the dosing valves.
The machine, a RONCHI EXACTA RM with 24 stations, fills the VaselineTM product at 45°C in order to obtain that the product remains liquid, flows with ideal filling times, and then solidifies in plastic jars with a flat, horizontal and regular surface.
All the aspects connected with:

  • Product Temperature Control through feeding pipe, manifold, nozzles pipes, flow-meters and dosing valves;
  • Temperature control;
  • Heat tracing
  • Re-starts after short, medium, and long stoppages with product in the machine

have been fronted and managed with a very simple and efficient system able to give heat in a totally controlled way: the RONCHI EXACTA, indeed, already particularly indicated for its architecture and highly reduced quantity of product contained (about 10 litres) has been equipped externally with the heat tracing with electrical resistances and electrical inducers. The thermostatic control can be integrated and performed by the same PLC of the filler.
